Similarly to Jamaica, most violent crimes in the country are removed from tourists and involve locals. The country's high murder rate is also a reflection of the population size; St. Kitts and Nevis reported 20 homicides with a population barely over 50,000, while similarly ranked Trinidad and Tobago reported 472 homicides with a much higher population of roughly 1.3 million. According to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the vast majority of tourists have safe trips to the islands. Tourists are advised to take standard travel precautions such as not walking alone at night, avoid wearing jewelry, and using safety deposit boxes. 38.2 homicides per 100,000 population
